Chapter 1: Race and Gender<br />

Human (sing.), Humans (pl.)<br />

In almost every respect, humans are the most<br />

neutral and the norm of the humanoid races. Other<br />

races consider humans to be corrupt, greedy, and<br />

power-hungry. As a race, humans are more insecure,<br />

but are also more adaptable than other races.<br />

Many humans consider the human race to be superior<br />

to all others, and most human cultures seek to<br />

expand.<br />

Although humans have the most diverse diet,<br />

most human peasants survive merely on bread and<br />

ale. Humans from southern climates have more diverse<br />

diets than those from the north.<br />
